Quality Manager (Lab Ops / GMP)

As our first dedicated Quality Manager, you will bridge the gap between high-speed innovation and rigorous regulatory compliance. Your mission is to design and implement a Quality Management System (QMS) that supports our increased production needs and ensures our new lab setup meets the gold standard for global veterinary medicine.

Main Responsibilities

QMS Design

• Build from Scratch: Design, implement, and maintain a robust QMS compliant with applicable biotech and pharmaceutical guidelines.
• Audit Leadership: Manage the internal audit program across all operational areas to ensure constant readiness.
• Supply Chain Integrity: Oversee the qualification and auditing of all suppliers and subcontractors.
• Knowledge Culture: Design and deliver training programs on documentation standards and quality procedures for the whole team.

GMP & Regulatory Support

• Lab Setup: Lead all quality aspects of the incoming GMP lab setup, including site qualification, equipment validation, and cleanroom procedures.
• Global Submissions: Act as a key pillar in the preparation of regulatory dossiers from a quality and GMP compliance perspective.
• Release Authority: Ensure batch release procedures are defensible, rigorous, and in place for all products released to the field.

Monitoring & Continuous Improvement

• Incident Response: Lead post-incident quality reviews following field deviations or high-mortality cases to ensure we never stop learning.
• Early Integration: Participate in new product and process development, acting as a proactive voice to raise quality issues during the design phase rather than after.

What We’re Looking For

• Education: Degree in Pharmacy, Biology, Biotechnology, or a related life science discipline.
• Experience: Minimum 3-4 years in a quality role within a regulated biotech, pharma, or veterinary medicine environment.
• Technical Skills: Solid working knowledge of GMP guidelines; familiarity with veterinary medicinal product regulations is a massive plus; proficiency in designing and managing QMS software and documentation.
• Soft Skills: Comfortable with ambiguity, proactive in high-pressure situations, and able to translate complex regulations into clear team actions.
• Languages: Fluent in English.

What We Offer

• International Culture: Work with a global, diverse team driven by a shared vision of impactful biotechnology.
• Impactful Work: Lead processes that contribute directly to innovative biotechnologies.
• Growth & Learning: Gain valuable technical experience in a fast-paced environment.
• Well-being Perks: Free breakfast, sports activities, and a healthy work-life balance culture.
